first drafts
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged book on November 2, 2006 | 2 Comments »
I was deleting some old email from my work inbox when I discovered a very early draft of my book that I sent myself back in March. So it has been almost eight months since I started this thing. It’s neat to see how much of the story has remained. Back then it was written […]

I am determined to get this damn chapter done today, and if not today, then tomorrow. I worked on it for two and a half hours last night, and somehow only got about a page and a half done. I took a long walk today. It’s hot in the city, even out in the Sunset. […]

I got out of bed at eight this morning, fed the cats, watched some Tivo while eating Cheerios, and started on the housework. Brian joined me shortly thereafter and we did a good job af cleaning the apartment. After all, houseguests next week! After lunch, I went downtown to the main library and returned some […]

Well, the Giants are out of it. Bastards. Not that we didn’t all kind of see this coming after that nine-game losing streak a couple months ago. Ugh. And hey Oakland A’s, wtf? That’s all I have to say about THAT. I am ashamed of the huge stack of unread New Yorker magazines on my […]

Haven’t done this in awhile — current word count is: 58,415 That’s a lot of words! It’s still a first draft, and only a third done. I have been writing a lot this week, making quite a few major revisions, all of which I am pleased with. I am learning a lot from my advisors. […]

My next research project is to find the names of common house plants. My favorite ones so far happen to be for two plants I actually own: monstera delicioso, and the spider plant. Today I didn’t do much except write. The sun won’t come out here. I looked over my shoulder every once in awhile […]

All the front windows are covered with opaque plastic sheets. Can’t see a thing outside. Ugh. Our already dim apartment becomes even dimmer; it feels like November in here. Giants game last night was great. The Dodgers were beaten, I got to see Schmidt pitch, and I had a nice hot chocolate. The only downer […]

+ Boy am I glad our trip was last week and not this week. Looks like flying is about to get 1000 times shittier. Oh but I forgot, panicking is great for the economy! Especially when the waves of fear generated by the news broadcast are broken up every seven minutes by soothing, cheerful, glorious […]
